Facebook and New York University have published fastMRI, a dataset of 1.5 million magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the knee, to accelerate the development of AI that can reduce the time it takes to complete an MRI scan. The NYU School of Medicine collected the 1.5 million images from 10,000 MRI scans. The data could help researchers develop AI that can piece together images from MRI scans for a complete scan, thereby reducing the number of images and time needed to perform MRI scans, which can take up to 30-45 minutes.
